πŸ’… nvme_init_directive_send_id_endir β€” bestie edition

okay so this is a libnvme API manual page, and the function we're obsessing over today is nvme_init_directive_send_id_endir(9). yes that's a whole mouthful, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic like that. πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

nvme_init_directive_send_id_endir β€” Initializes the passthru command for Directive Send Enable Directive. that's the whole vibe. she does one thing and she does it well. πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void nvme_init_directive_send_id_endir (struct libnvme_passthru_cmd *cmd
, __u32 nsid , bool endir , enum nvme_directive_dtype dtype , struct
nvme_id_directives *id );

like, look at her. void return, five arguments, zero drama (okay maybe a little drama). 🌸


🫢 ARGUMENTS 🫢

  • cmd β€” the passthru command you're gonna use. this is the main character right here, the buffer everything gets written into. πŸ‘‘
  • nsid β€” Namespace Identifier. which namespace are we talking to? this one. __u32 core. ⭐
  • endir β€” Enable Directive. it's a bool, so it's giving yes-or-no energy, no in-between. πŸ¦‹
  • dtype β€” Directive Type, and it's an enum nvme_directive_dtype, so pls pass a real one bestie. 🌈
  • id β€” Pointer to structure nvme_id_directives. yes, a pointer, so like… make sure it points at something real. 😭

πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so what does she actually do? she Initializes the passthru command buffer for the Directive Send - Identify (Enable Directive) command. that's it. that's the whole job. lowkey a slay, highkey essential β€” somebody's gotta set up that buffer and apparently it's her. ✨

fr fr: this is the setup step. she doesn't send anything herself, she just gets the command buffer ready so it can be sent. don't @ me, that's literally what "Initializes the passthru command buffer" means. πŸ’€
